MaxInDHouse:
You have lots of questions my friend!

But then let's pick few so you can meet with JWs in your neighbourhood for the rest of your questions.

So please pick just three that you will like us to treat now!

MaxInDHouse:
Whenever you see people converge in one place for a purpose know today that spirit beings (angels) are involved, so what makes it occultic is the aim and objective of the gathering. Well established occultic Organizations comprises of lots of imperfect humans and the same is applicable to any other organized group out there.
Now let's address your questions!
What makes JW Organization different from all other groups?
Of course the relevance of any group largely depends on how far they're able to meet up with a certain purpose for which the group is form, therefore each group will say sweet things to woo new members into joining them.
But JWs first tell an interested person the good news of God's Kingdom and it's richly blessings for all those who will make it, then we present the challenges a member will encounter when he becomes one of us {Matthew 10:34-39} secondly we will tell him the tenets that he must keep to remain part of us {Matthew 16:24} then we will make him understand that since we're all imperfect there's always room for correction whenever a blunder is committed {Matthew 18:21-22} (this is where occultic groups differ, because for each error a grievous penalty awaits the offender) JWs will be prepared to win our brother/sister back into the fold by reminding him/her the tenets we all vowed to keep but if the offender insist on shifting blame {Genesis 3:11-13} then we will remove him from our midst! Matthew 18:15-17
The only benefit of occultic groups is to shield a member whenever the person commits an offence worth been punished by outsiders, they will never allow none members to witness how their member is humiliated publicly for any reason no matter how grievous the offence. In fact occultic groups will find a scapegoat outside their group who must pay for the error committed by their own member when such punishment involves the public. But when it's an offence committed against the brotherhood it's the offender (default member) that must bear his punishment!
So for this reason there is no occultic group that's not connected one way or the other to the authorities because they must always shield their members from facing public shame. JWs have nothing to do with Politics or nationalism, they don't vote neither contest for public posts so how can they shield their member from facing punishment? John 15:19, 17:14-16
if anyone tells you JWs are occultic, ask such a person if there is any occultic groups that has no influence on the authorities?

Interesting to see that according to your interpretation the bolded prevents from you from partaking in voting.



PRACTICAL APPLICATION must come in if there is going to be any benefits so you don't have to take all groups that works on practicality as occultic, what matters is the benefit of what they are PRACTICING! Galatians 5:22-23


Do you apply this to just members of your organisation or to others in it's entirely or selectively?

May you have PEACE!

Kobojunkie:
All this has absolutely nothing to do with any of the questions I asked you of Salvation or the reference you made to Ezekiel 18 though.

Relegating mode of Salvation?

Jesus Christ came and preach a completely different way from the on the news knew and were told off by their fathers. He came with a whole different Covenant, complete with Laws, Blessings, Curses, Seal, Burden, Ritual, and Promises - an everlasting package separate and complete on its own. Why this business of "relegating" mode of salvation? What in the world does that even mean?

MaxInDHouse:
TRUTH WORKS OUT WHAT IS BENEFITIAL!

That's the only edge Jesus had above the Pharisees!

For your information, they knew God's word inside out and they can teach Jesus' foster grandpa but they only have head knowledge of what's written in God's word they don't have the PRACTICAL APPLICATION that's why their teachings doesn't benefit those following them, just like you too, you can read the Bible and think of how to twist what is written inside to accuse others whereas the first thing Jesus did was to apply it to himself so that everyone can see how PRACTICAL God's word is, that's what i've been doing since.
JWs don't just use God's word to accuse others, the Organization looks at the mirror first to see if we are meeting up with the prophecy, and we try to invite others to come and enjoy the benefits of the right application of God's word!
You are just quoting to accuse, why not first apply it to your group and see if there is any similarity between your group and what the first century Christians were doing back then?

All the churches of Christendom out there are doing the same thing, they don't apply the Bible to their group first so that onlookers will not see their flaws. Whenever any impostor wants to open his own Church he will quote some verses for gullible ones in the society, use the quotations to accuse existing Churches then sugar-coat his words to woo the fools so that they will start following him/her. By the end of the day instead of publicly debunking the existing chuches as he did before gathering the fools, he will later change his tactics and start referring to the churches he once condemned as other denominations of the same religion.
Kumuyi did that, he left a church before forming Deeperlife on the basis of heresy but today he is no more saying anything again publicly to prove why he left his former Church. WHY?
Because there is nothing to write home about the group he formed, there is no difference between his group and other existing chuches!

But JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES like the first century Christians were applying the word of God to themselves FIRST to help observers realize the fulfilment of Bible prophecies in the activities of their group. Act 2:16-18 compare to Joel 2:28-30

So instead of quoting the Bible to point accusing fingers to JWs why not first apply the WORDS to your own group let everyone see how fitting what your group is doing with what is written in the book? James 1:22-25

please how many plots of land will it take to build a 5 bedroom bungalow all en suite?

davodyguy:
If bridges can be built on water without collapsing, any land can accommodate any building, but the best foundation is piling to the lowest possible depth.

michlins:
a hit. Doing this one for more than that. This gate,six able bodied men no go fit carry am. Psn is 2.5mm, rods are 14mm wrought and the pipe is 60 by 60 wrought. My biggest concern right now I'd how to load it into a truck

Do you feel comfortable building on Clay soil?

Thanks Sis, for the info. I see you are using a 2 SURFACE Pump.
I have the intent to insert both SUBMERSIBLE Pumps into the single borehole pipe from the ground and have both working at the same time and each serving different buildings that are adjacent to each other.

I think it is do-able (my opinion), as long as water in the bore-pipe can cover both pumps simultaneously but l still need more opinions, people who have perhaps, done something similar or are in the business.

lastpage:
Thanks guys.
I want the two pumps to get power from their separate Electric Meters, two separate Buildings side-by-side, otherwise l will be settling quarrels.
But l want to avoid digging a second Borehole even as sharing the borehole makes the water better as it enjoys more usage. Water level in the area is high so supplying the pumps should not be a problem.

Thanks, still expecting more opinions from more gurus in the house

I am hoping that the Big bore Pipe can contain a second Pump and if it can, how to go about it.

BuildingProject:
I will take a proper picture tomorrow. Although we're already working towards the decking and the engineer said I need 90 cubits of granite so they just joined all the delivery together.

So I don't know if it can be ascertain with this.

ceelog:
You might be right.
House was designed and carcass built by Harney.

Brown stones were only added for staircase cast and upper floor lintel and pillars when granite finished. Parapet was granite chips.

Laterite sandfill from dug well and suckaway

Mix ratio if I remember was 1/3/5.

QSFemi:
Happy Sunday.

As regards the situation, I have said it times without number that it's advisable for clients, project sponsor or home owners to hire independent professional to assess the construction cost of their projects especially in a relatively high end construction.

To have a contractor to submit his quotation for a project to a client, to be assessed, who has no knowledge of construction processes will not be fair to the clients at all. Even if the clients insist on buying all the materials as quoted and subsequently monitor the usage of such, there's still no way for the client to know the fair cost of required labour for such project. Hence, the client is still very likely to lose a good amount of money to labour cost.

That's why professional Quantity Surveyors are trained to be an independent cost assessor of construction enterprises which ranges from building to roads, bridges to railway, and what have you.

In your case, the best bet is to let us have the drawings and advise on the cost consequently.

As regards 5% supervisory fee, it's subject to review. However, in a standard contract with reputable and registered construction firms, 15 to 35% or even higher (case in point: Julius Berger) is normally charged to the actual cost of construction for overheads and profit.

diordaves:
Taking another look in regards to your response, I can now infer that the BOQ states the foundation cost is 3 million. So 5% of 3 million is 150k. I got this wrong then. But the focal elements of my take are in order:

# BOQ should be prepared independently of the resident engineer/builder.

#Circa 100k is a decent fee for the supervision

# It is advisable to get further quotes.

n3xt:
This is nairaland!

Now that option quote is recommended. Will it come from 2 other Quantity Surveyors?


________
My only grouse with the engineer is insisting that N3m must be complete before the job can start. I have nothing against him charging 5% for the job

I’ve been on a job that a client paid me 25% of total sum of the project as supervision fee and it was paid even before we commence the project. Supervision fee na luck

n3xt:
This is nairaland!

Now that option quote is recommended. Will it come from 2 other Quantity Surveyors?

diordaves:
I'm not sure it is good advice for the BOQ to have been prepared by the resident engineer of the project. Conflict of interest comes to mind. I'm of the opinion BOQ should be prepared independently of the resident engineer or builder. "3 bedroom up and 3 bedroom down" means the project is two units of three bedrooms right? 3 million is a fantastic fantasy to supervise just the foundation. To be honest, 3 million to supervise the whole building to completion is still a fantasy. Less than a 100k for a dry land foundation in your location is more like it. Get a second and third quote.

As someone who heads a department at your work place, can you employ your elder brother to work under you?

A place where your instructions must be carried out.

Knowing fully well if anything goes wrong you will be held responsible.

Don’t mind Bixton, he’s just pulling my leg

Escape burglary that we’ve hashed over and over many years ago on this same thread

Anyone that’s serious can simply go search on Pinterest or best go to local fabricator as I advised.

Whatever you end up choosing should be private.

Some of the petty robbers in my area are building crew.

Nuff said. Back to horse riding lesson

Does teaching/learning include exposing yourself to security risk?

A picture of burglary is exposing one to security risk!!!! Okay oooo. .



I have some security solutions that I can never share here no matter how anyone feels.



This is a faceless forum. We don’t know who is who..
Everyone is a human being and blood runs through all our veins.

I was engaged to design a private escape into a roof on a project last year. I did the floors during the roof carcassing and decided to the every other thing after the team working on the pride to has left and all finishing work has been done

I understand the reasons of the bolded statement. This same private escape you speak about has been done elsewhere and we brought specific workers from the West to handle the job for the same reason you give.



Some people (artisans especially) will innocently announce you to the world. So it’s best to tread carefully even when you think you have the best form of defense.

Smallest room is 3.6m by 4.6m. Kitchen is similar size. Kitchen is as big as a room.

God bless you my brother.
I once mentioned that for my 4bed duplex at same stage as yours...I had not spent over 11m...some here were casting aspertions and disbelief till I said one of the best NL Engrs built it, then they soft paddled.

Start building and be present if you can. Buy your materials and use experts and their advice.

megacontrol:
Thanks a lot.

You've also touched on very cogent points, most are already covered in our structural plan and therefore already considered.

The reason I asked that specific question is that even when the plan states a cover of 20mm (i.e. 0.78" and you translate that to granite sizes, it appears to me like both 3/4 and 3/4 down qualify since that's 0.75" when converted.

All points considered, we will go with 3/4" (0.75" for this particular slab.

Just for the sake of learning... what is the 3/4" down granite size commonly referred to as in mm? also 20mm (since it is smaller than the 3/4)?

Cheers.

SilverNorGold:
Ok.. But these are cowards that joined the Nigeria Army just for the financial gains; and the khaki, which they use to intimidate and brutalize innocent civilians... They never joined to fight any nonsense insecurity. Reason they always CHICKEN out when the BULLish terrorists charge at them... Glad the bloody cowards are resigning by themselves! LOL!

Nigeria, the giant of Africa, deserves courageous, gallant, committed, agile, intelligent, and patriotic soldiers! Not these bloody sissies!

God bless our gallant soldiers.
God bless all patriotic Nigerians.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Hello guys,

My painter recommended using Matt's paint instead of satin and also producing the paint instead of buying it from the store. e.g., Delux store
Please, if you have a better idea, kindly recommend something better for me. All I want is quality paint.

Thank you
